Of those I've been smoking regularly, I think that Orlik GS and Granger will be long term favorites. Possibly also something with Latakia like John Bull or MM American Patriot, and some sort of British flake if they ever start exporting them again - but there are still so many blends out there for me to try that I'm sure there will be others. I've got a long list of 'Must Tries' pending!

I have really appreciated all the info I've gleaned from these sorts of posts on this forum, so I thank all those who take the time to post their preferences and opinions. :thumbs:
Dont glean too much. Apparently we smoke some heavyweights.

Super-Value. It's like 15 bucks a pound.

Well I officially have a lot of tobacco now. (By my standard anyway.)

Escudo is on the top of that list for sure.

Then:
MB Dark Twist
PSLBF
HALF&HALF
Old Dominion

This might change.

Poco a poco is the way I roll anyway. I picked up some HH ODF and it certainly gave me a nic jolt on the first bowl! I liked the flavor so much that maybe I was just hitting it too hard, IDK. I know I'm a lightweight when it comes to vitamin N. :lol:

Add Half and Half to whatever I said pages before . I cant imagine not smoking it pretty often , kinda like when MCB was around

Add some Perique to that Half & Half. It's beautiful.

CH
PA
SWRA
SPRT
Perique, I add it to stuff. Try Half and Half or BLWB cut with it.
Anniversary Kake
Sutliff 507
Newminster SNF and SRS
Grasmere
Ennerdale
Coniston
3P's was but it seems to be gone and I'm left with but a few plugs
Condor was for the Irish stuff but I'm down to one plug and a couple pouches, still feeling out the Polish stuff now and again until I'm satisfied enough with it to purchase any significant amount

There are plenty others I'd like to keep stocked but working around a budget and getting to put back anything I enjoy is more than good.
If anything I'm fairly consitant regarding taste, aside from having recently finished a tub of SWRA, that's the only one currently not on hand. Thought I had another... time to start watching for sales.

Edit to add I have acquired more Irish Condor since then. Somehow.

I need to dig out my perique and try that
